RE: [newbie] HOW TO: Create Local mirror of main, contrib updates ??
Hi Bryan, Thanks for this, I now have a fully working local mirror of main, contrib, jpackage and updates! (weighing it at just over 7GB, as its RPMS only, (no source RPMS). Next thing is to get my PLF mirror up and running. I noticed that they have a link on their site for if you would like to mirror their repository. However, it reads to me as though its for public mirroring. My site is meant for internal use only (the server isn't accessible to the outside world), would I still be permitted to use their rsync ??

[newbie] HOW TO: Create Local mirror of main, contrib updates ??
Hi there, I am attempting to create a local mirror of the main, contrib updates files (RPMS only, no SRPMS) using 'mirror'. I have so far been unable to get it to download files recursively. I only get the contents of the i586 directory. Here is my config: package=PackageName comment=MyComments go here site=ftp.proxad.net remote_dir=/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/ local_dir=/path/to/local/mirror/ Recursive=true I suspect it may be a problem with flags_recursive as this is unset so defaults to -lRat. If I ftp manually an do ls -lRat I do just get a list of files in the i586 directory and no-recursion. Has anyone managed to get a local mirror working ?? If so, can you let me know how you achieved this?? (oh and how much disk-space is used) Thanks, Jamie [EMAIL PROTECTED] ITS Internal Extension : 5806 Direct Dial: 0870 754 5806 ** E-mail Disclaimer ** This e-mail message is confidential and for use by the addressee only.

You could create your own script with rsync and create include/exclude files and use rsync friendly sites. I have done this in suse 9.0. It is not that complicated once you got the hang of it. here is a example of the rsync command I used in suse.. rsync -auvv --stats --delete --exclude-from=/home/internet/test-ftp/-gwdg-exclude ftp.gwdg.de::pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.0/. /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.0/. Here is one I use to list kernels..in mdk10.. rsync -auvv --stats --exclude-from=/home/internet/Test-kernels/files-exclude \ ftp.sunet.se::pub/Linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.0/RPMS/. The ..files-exclude.. look like this.. + kernel-2.6.3*.rpm + kernel-source-2.6.3*.rpm - *.* This may give you some idea what could be done by yourself..but look into dalziel.
